Lancashire have announced that Luke Procter and Matthew Parkinson have signed new two-year deals at the club.

Procter made his Lancashire debut in 2009, while spinner Parkinson made his bow in the summer, with both coming through the club's academy.

The 28-year-old Procter played every game in the County Championship last season, hitting 822 runs at an average of nearly 35, while Parkinson spent time with England earlier this summer as a net bowler to help Trevor Bayliss' side prepare for their Test series against Pakistan.

Procter said: "I'm thrilled to have signed a new deal with the club I love. Playing for Lancashire is all I've ever wanted to do, so to sign a new two-year contract is fantastic.

"I've enjoyed the responsibility of batting at the top of the order this summer and I look forward to contributing even more over the next couple of years and more."

Parkinson added: "I couldn't be happier to sign a new two-year deal.  I've really enjoyed my first full season as a professional and to make my debut for the club against Warwickshire was pretty special.

"I'm looking forward to be involved in the Lions this winter and will be working hard on my game ahead of next season."
